A Glimpse of Mi Vida...

It started with a missions trip to Camden, where my life and perspective were changed and where this blog began. Life has been a roller coaster filled with its ups and downs and I'm excited for the adventure and discovering what God has in store, even though I really dislike roller coasters...

A Little White Lie

Here is a post from the beginning of November, I forgot to post while I was in Haiti:

The Little White Lie

We’ve all told them right? You
say yes, but don’t really mean it or know what you’re agreeing too. You say it
without meaning it or thinking about it. Even as Christian’s were all prone to
the little white lie. For me it used to be agreeing that I liked something
before I had the chance to really process if I did, or saying yes so that
someone will like me. Have you seen that one scene in that one movie? Oh yeah,
totally. But I hadn’t. Even know I have a time not answering what someone wants
to hear verse processing and answer what the truth I desire to give.

I think as we grow into more
mature adults and especially as we become more spiritually mature, the white
lies should happen less. As we discover who we are and what we stand for, we
can confidently answer questions with certainty. Sometimes I think the white
lie comes out of insecurity, the worst however is when you are caught in the
white lie.

As Christians, we are called
to call each other out, in love. I recently found myself wanting to call
someone out and attempted to, but then they lied. I not only watched them lie,
but I witnessed what they were lying about. It’s frustrating because I couldn’t
call them out because I couldn’t do it in love, it would have only been in
frustration and may have come out hurtful. So I sit here, praying that they
learn. Praying that their white lie doesn’t affect others or that the lie
doesn’t affect how another person or their work is viewed.

As much as I want to even go
into detail here, on my blog… I think the spiritual growth and maturity within
me is saying don’t. Just pray.

So that is all.

I pray that we don’t lie and
that as we learn and grown in Christ and in age that we discover who we are and
we can stand up for ourselves and admit when we are wrong. Instead of leaving a
little white lie, I pray that we have to confidence to stand, ask for
forgiveness and learn and move forward. I pray that I can always choose to walk
with dignity, to learn from my mistakes and to act only in truth and love.

And yes, it is true I haven’t
seen a majority of any sci-fi related movie, especially Lord of the Rings and
Tron. I apologize if I once said I did and made you think I was cooler than I
am. Ha.

Good day and good night (sounds cooler if you just red that in a British accent).
